Adolescence is a critical period of physical and psychological development, especially for girls, because poor nutrition can affect their wellbeing as well as that of their children.

From 2019 to 2021, Alive & Thrive supported the Government of Ethiopia to develop and implement an adolescent nutrition program to improve dietary practices among adolescent girls. This brief summarizes some of the notable highlights from the implementation research endline findings.

This study conducted in Ethiopia’s SNNP and Somali regions tested the impact of a package of nutrition interventions delivered primarily through schools and implemented by Alive & Thrive on the diet of adolescent girls.

This brief presents findings on adolescent nutrition from a baseline study in Ethiopia.

Alive & Thrive's implementation research spans its program areas, seeking to answer "how" to implement effective interventions and policies. Active studies are detailed in the attached documents.
